Already under fire from Iraq War veterans for making up events, NBC is taking new flak today from former military brass over a correspondent’s claim that sniper hero Chris Kyle was a “racist” on “killing sprees” while protecting troops in Iraq.

Some 22 retired generals and admirals, including a former deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, joined with dozens of other officers and the press watchdog Media Research Center in a letter to demand an apology from NBC parent Comcast after the network refused to acknowledge the comments.

Go the the closet, what else can we throw on the pile. I’m loving this.

The people Kyle shot were foreign arabs or collaborating Iraqis indeed.

The hatred from the Left will never cease in this world. Their accusations of racism are a result of their own deep rotted racist views. Now they want to project that

Not one single retired USMC general officer signed the letter. As I understand it, much of what Kyle did was covering Marines.

WTF? WTGDF?

Defending against the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941 is probably now considered racist.
